3# Test how null bytes in the output of a command are handled.  Make processes
4# them using null-terminated strings, which may cut off some of the output.
5#
6# As of 2021-04-15, make handles null bytes from the child process
7# inconsistently.  It's an edge case though since typically the child
8# processes output text.
